How many of you kids have ever eaten one of these things? We know that a lot of kids eat these because apparently over 2.5 million of them ...read more

    This sermon explores one of the most important truths in Christian life - salvation is freely given to us through Jesus Christ but following Him comes at a great cost.

    Scripture Reading: Luke 9:23-24 (NIV) "Then He said to them all: 'Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.'" My brothers ...read more

     | 13,280 views

    The women who followed Jesus discovered that the tomb was empty. Peter and the beloved disciples confirmed their discovery. For the rest of their lives, these people discovered how the empty tomb opened up God's kingdom to them.

    John 20:1-18 “The Message of the Empty Tomb” INTRODUCTION Occasionally a Good Friday situation slips into our lives. These are situations that appear to be hopeless and beyond God’s power—times when we wonder if there will ever be life after death. For some Good ...read more

    Corona Virus - Don't Be Afraid Pray

    Contributed by Bob Marcaurelle on Mar 30, 2020
     | 4,506 views

    Facing dangers that are real, fear is normal. It is what we do with it that matters. We should follow Jesus' example in Gethsemane and say what we feel and after that comes submission to the will of God.

    DON’T BE AFRAID – PRAY “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and discipline.” (2 Timothy: 1:7) Bob Marcaurelle A little girl was afraid she had committed the unpardonable sin, when, like many of us, she sometimes fell asleep when she said her bedtime prayers.

    Greatness In Serving Series

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 6, 2021
     | 3,828 views

    The disciples had to learn, often the hard way, that following Jesus does not mean favoritism from Him. They had to learn that service towards God and others is to be done with a loving, gracious attitude and not with an ego.

    You have to admit that James and John thought a lot about their ability to serve the Lord Jesus. They wanted places of honor in the Kingdom of God without coming to grips with the hardship that follows everyone who gives their lives to Him. The disciples and all who would surrender their lives ...read more

     | 1,368 views

    As Christians we are following Jesus, or we are choosing to do our own thing? If anything, the witness of Peter, John, and James ought to encourage us today to choose Christ over being in control.

    The reward of a disciple (Luke, Part 5) Luke 9:18-36 Dismiss for Children’s Church Introduction / Recap - The study of Luke is an interesting one for believers to dive into -- We can see Luke’s interest in people (it’s genuine, re: career as a physician) -- We also get to experience how ...read more

    Why is it that too often people have put, or they are putting Christ last? Here the questions are asked about the requirements for following Jesus, not the way to salvation. The cost of discipleship is brought out in this passage of scripture.
